OpenOffice Question/problem with MS Excel file.

[bongski55]

I use OpenOffice that came with knoppix3.4 at home.Recently I brought home an MSexcel2000 file from the office and loaded it unto my knoppix pc.
Everything looked okay when 'calc' opened the file until I noticed that the "Object Toolbar" was missing.The View-Toolbars-Object was checked so there should be an object toolbar displayed.(This is the toolbar that shows the font and the font size.etc)

Any ideas?
thanks
